About Watt

North Cross School, 1986
Emory & Henry College, 1990
Chartered Market Technician, 2005

In 1981, my father, Walter Dixon, Jr. started his own Investment Advisory firm to serve clients that wanted a personalized experience away from a large bank or brokerage firm. In 1994 I began to learn the investment business from the ground up, eventually working my way up to an equity partner in the firm that my father had started. Over the past 25+ years, I worked in all facets of money management; from portfolio construction and management to equity and bond selection and trading.

I earned my Chartered Market Technician (C.M.T.) designation in 2005. This is a 3-year program that marks the highest level of training within the field of Technical Analysis of security markets. The process involved in obtaining this designation was rigorous but very valuable.

The past 25 years of the stock market have been quite a ride. The Dot-Com Bubble and the 2008 Financial Crisis were both valuable lessons in portfolio management. Both events served to reinforce how well my Portfolio Management System weathered bear market downturns.

I enjoy reading books by many of the great minds on investing.
A few of my favorites include:

• A Random Walk Down Wall Street – Burton Malkiel 

• Technical Analysis of Stock Trends – Edwards and Magee 

• Poor Charlie’s Almanack – Charlie Munger 

• The Little Book of Common Sense Investing – John Bogle
